Abstract

Background: Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease that requires comprehensive management involving both patients and their families. Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) is a crucial strategy for empowering patients and preventing complications, particularly diabetic foot ulcers. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of DSME, combined with family support, in preventing diabetic foot ulcers. Methods: A quasi-experimental, one-group pre- and post-test design was employed. Participants were recruited using purposive sampling. The study included 11 respondents with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were over 40 years old, lived with family, had no significant sensory impairments, could communicate effectively, and were willing to participate. The intervention consisted of three DSME sessions delivered over 14 days at the Sekaran Health Centre. Results: Before the intervention (pre-test), 81.8% of participants demonstrated poor self-care behaviour, while 18.2% exhibited good self-care behaviour. Following the intervention (post-test), there was a significant improvement, with 72.7% demonstrating good self-care behaviour and 27.3% exhibiting poor self-care behaviour. Statistical analysis revealed a significant effect of the DSME and family support intervention on self-care behaviour (p = 0.001; α = 0.05). Conclusion: DSME, combined with family support, is effective in improving self-care behaviour among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus, which can contribute to the prevention of diabetic foot ulcers. These findings underscore the importance of integrating DSME and family support into diabetes management programs

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder caused by problems in insulin production, leading to impaired blood glucose regulation. Diabetic neuropathy, a microvascular complication, results in loss of sensation in the feet, causing unnoticed small repeated wounds known as diabetic foot. Lack of information about diabetic foot complications leads to low knowledge about the importance of foot care among diabetes mellitus patients. Low knowledge has six times greater risk of developing diabetic foot because it can influence foot care behavior. This study aimed to describe the knowledge of diabetic patients about foot care in Type II diabetes mellitus patients in the Puskesmas Sekaran area. This research used a descriptive study design to describe the knowledge of diabetics about diabetic foot care. Respondents in this study were 35 people selected using accidental sampling technique. The data analysis used was univariate analysis. Results showed that the level of knowledge of diabetics in the Puskesmas Sekaran area about foot care was still lacking; of 35 respondents, those with good knowledge were 17.15%, sufficient 22.85%, and lacking 60%. In conclusion, knowledge of the elderly about the importance of foot care in diabetes mellitus patients needs to be improved through in-depth education about the importance of foot care for diabetics to prevent the occurrence of diabetic foot ulcers.
